Women and older men need to follow certain nutritional rules to keep their bodies in good condition and not complain about their health.

Doctor Nadezhda Runikhina recommended that older people pay attention to the Mediterranean diet, which can strengthen blood vessels.

This type of diet suggests that preference should be given to plant products, fish, and olive oil should be chosen as a dressing.

Moscow 24 writes about this in more detail.

As the specialist explained, with age, blood vessels lose elasticity and become more rigid.

This happens not only for natural reasons due to the aging of the body, but also due to improper nutrition.

For example, when a person overdoes it with sugar, salt or animal fats.

In addition, as Runikhina explained, physical activity is necessary for a normal state.

You can give preference to regular walks, but the load should still be determined by the attending physician.

Earlier we talked about how stress affects weight.
